Rendered in embroidered lace, this alice + olivia dress evokes vintage elegance. The fitted body flares into a mermaid skirt, and a single button and an exposed zip fasten the open back. 3/4 sleeves. Lined.

Launched in 2002, alice + olivia was born of designer Stacey Bendet's personal quest to create the perfect pair of flattering and form-fitting pants. Her signature style was met with instant success, and "Stacey Pants" quickly became the daily staple and denim alternative for today's retro sophisticate. The brand has continued to expand its horizons launching a cashmere collection in 2003 and a full contemporary collection in 2005, turning alice + olivia into the go-to brand for vintage style.

This dress is just AWESOME!
I was looking for a special dress:i wanted to look fabulous and aristocratic. I've spent some much time looking for different dresses. And fell in love from the first sight with this one. I was a little bit worried about size, cause now i am between 2 and 4. I ordered 4. It suits me really good, dress matches my figure perfectly! It is a little large in bust area, but I solved this problem using right underwear.
The color is very saturated and the texture is very light and weightless.
I am a big fan of maxi dresses, but this one must be the best one. I was the star of the evening!

This dress is absolutely gorgeous - both online and in person. The only concerns I had were:
1) the lace was heavier (and harder) than anticipated, but that makes sense given the structure of the gown. Hard to describe exactly what I mean by that unless you can see and feel it. It would not last if it was flimsy lace.
2) this has NEVER happened to me before as I have always been 'pear' shaped & quite petite up 'top', but the dress literally fit my body perfectly except for the arms?! My arms are not big by any means, maybe a little too muscular, so my first time trying on the dress resulted in sheer panic. It fit beautifully EXCEPT the 'hard-laced' arms! I was flabbergasted! However, I have steamed and have tried it on a few times now, so it seems that it just needed to relax a bit and now it is perfect :)
This gown is absolutely stunning and worth every cent. Would recommend this gown or anything by Alice + Olivia without hesitation. ShopBop was also fantastic, fast & easy!
